Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
With BiPAP, inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP or pressure-supported ventilation) and expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP or positive end expiratory pressure) are set.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Clinical studies have shown that compared with spontaneous breathing (including that occurring during synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation), PSV can result in a decreased respira-tory rate, increased tidal volume, reduced respiratory muscle activity, and decreased oxygen consumption.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

Not getting enough sleep can greatly weaken the immune system. Lack of sleep makes you more likely to catch a cold, or more difficult to fight off an infection.

Did you know?

The average office desk has 400 times more bacteria on it than a toilet.

Did you know?

Never take aspirin without food because it is likely to irritate your stomach. Never give aspirin to children under age 12. Overdoses of aspirin have the potential to cause deafness.

Did you know?

It is widely believed that giving a daily oral dose of aspirin to heart attack patients improves their chances of survival because the aspirin blocks the formation of new blood clots.
